We support business owners, family businesses, funds and corporate groups through sale, acquisition, due diligence and financing processes. Every mandate is executed by a senior team, from Barcelona, with international reach.
M&A Boutique Barcelona
Corporate Finance with the perspective of an advisor, buyer and investor
Dextra Corporate Advisors is an independent Corporate Finance and M&A boutique based in Barcelona, specialising in Spanish mid-market transactions. We advise sell-side, buy-side, due diligence and debt processes for family businesses, entrepreneurs, funds and industrial groups.
We know how a buyer thinks because we have been buyers. Our partners have invested and divested their own capital, which allows us to anticipate the hard questions, read real intentions and negotiate from a position of judgement, not just technical knowledge.

Confidential process — NDA from the first contact
Why Dextra
The M&A advisor who has been in your position
Our value is not just in executing documents. It is in understanding that a corporate transaction combines price, people, risk, time and trust.
01
Skin in the game
Dextra's partners invest their own capital. They have bought, operated and divested real companies. They understand how a buyer thinks because they have been buyers.
02
The signing partner executes
The person leading the negotiation is not an analyst — it is the partner who signed the mandate. Direct access to decision-makers at every stage of the process.
03
Confidential from day one
A sale is one of the most important decisions in a lifetime. Every process is handled with maximum discretion, under NDA, so clients and suppliers find out at the right time.
04
Real international reach
As CFA Worldwide representative in Spain, we access buyers and targets across 34 offices in Europe, the Americas and Asia. More market, more competition, better final price.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions about M&A services
Before starting a formal conversation, these are the questions that typically arise from business owners, buyers and referrers.
The first step is an informal, confidential conversation with a partner — no commitment, no cost. You share the company's situation and the shareholder's objectives, and Dextra assesses whether it makes sense to initiate a process.
Dextra works with an initial retainer and a success fee tied to deal closing. Exact fees depend on the type of mandate and transaction size. We discuss this openly in the first conversation, with no small print.
Yes. Dextra is the exclusive representative of CFA Worldwide in Spain, a network of independent M&A boutiques with 34 offices in Europe, the Americas and Asia. This provides access to international buyers and targets that do not operate directly in the local market.
Dextra advises on company sale processes, acquisitions, due diligence and debt advisory. We also carry out valuations, corporate transaction structuring and negotiation support through to closing.
We work both sides of the table. On the sell-side we support the selling business owner; on the buy-side we help corporates, funds and family offices to identify, analyse and close acquisitions.
Our natural focus is the Spanish mid-market, particularly companies with approximate revenues between €5 million and €50 million. We evaluate transactions outside that range on a case-by-case basis.
Mandates are led by partners and senior professionals. The client maintains direct access to those who make decisions, prepare strategy and negotiate the transaction.
A sell-side process typically takes between six and ten months from preparation to closing. On the buy-side, timing depends on target access and negotiation pace, but also tends to require several months of structured work.
Yes. Dextra is the representative of CFA Worldwide in Spain, an international network of M&A boutiques with 34 offices. This allows us to extend the universe of buyers or targets beyond the local market.
Yes. An initial valuation helps determine whether it makes sense to go to market, negotiate with a specific buyer or prepare the company before initiating a formal mandate.
